The annual Concert of the above Institution, established in 1786 for the relief of decayed musicians, took place on Friday at her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket. This was the fifty-second Concert given by the members of the Society, and we need only mention the names of the singers on the occasion to show the liberal scale on which it was got up. They were Mesdames Guilietta Grisi and Persiani, Signors Rubini, La. blache, and Tamburini ; Mrs. Alfred Shaw, Miss Birch, Miss Wood ham, Signor Ivanoff, Mr. J. Bennett, and Mr. H. Phillips. With such a phalanx of vocal talent, in addition with the talents of Mrs. Ander son, Mr. Chatterton, and Herr Heinemeyer, as solo performers in the instrumental department, it was impossible the Concert could be other. wise than attractive and successfnl in the highest degree. The pit was completely filled by as fashionable an auditory as ever graced the area of her Majesty's Theatre, and the other parts of the house, although not crowded as on some late occasions at the Italian Opera, were well at tended. An orchestra erected on the stage afforded accommodation to a most excellent band, amongst whom we recognised most of the leading musicians of the day, ably conducted by Sir George Smart, and led by Mr. Francois Cramer. Considerable judgment had been displayed by the managers in the selection of the pieces, and the whole went off in a style calculated to afford extreme gratification to the audience, and in fact the Concert was an excellent one in nearly every particular. Mozart's superb overture to the Zatibertiote commenced the First Part. The opening movement was rather deficient in firmness, but the Allegro went off with great spirit. A duetto by Rubini and Tamburini fol lowed, "Se inelinassi," from Rossini's " L'ltaliana in Algeri." It was sungwith great taste and feeling, although Rubini, as he frequently does, refined so much upon it in parts that his voice was scarcely audible. " Let the bright seraphin" was next sung by Grisi. She did not appear quite at home; and, we are bound to say, we heard it given with more effect by some English singers. The peculiarity of her pronunciation had a rather a ludicrous effect in rather more than one instance. The trum. pet accompaniment of Mr. Harper was superb. Mrs. Anderson's Rondo for the Piano-forte, the composition of Hummel, was a splendid per formance. The choice of the piece itself evinced great judgment and taste on the part of the lady in question, and her performance was the most masterly and graceful effort that can be conceived. We never heard Mrs. A. herself play better than she did on this oceasion, and we certainly never heard any one exceed her in brilliancy of style, in pro.. ducing a rich quality of tone from the instrument, and in facility of execution. Madame Persiani was deservedly and enthusiastically en cored in the beautiful Aria from Bellini's Somnambula," Come per me sereno." A more finished performance could not be conceived. Signor Ivanhoff sang, with great feeling, an air from Lord Burghersh's opera, the words commencing " Bel raggio di Luna," and was ably accom nied on the harp by Mr. Nielson. It was, however; as a whole, rather a heavy affair. Guglielmi's duetto, " 0 Guardati the figura," sang with great humour and good taste by Grisi and Lablache, was encored. The first part concluded with Mr. W. S. Bennett's overture to the Naiades, a composition displaying very considerable talent. It did not, however, for some reason or other, go well, and was not noticed by the audience in so marked a manner as its merits required. In the second part of the concert, Mr. J. Balsir Chatterton played a fantasia on the harp, in which he displayed great execution, but much affectation. His facility of fingering is extraordinary, but the tone thin and wiry. Mr. J. Ben nett's " Lord remember David" was sung with great taste and chasteness of style. His shake is splendid, but he introduces it a little too often. Miss Birch's " From mighty Kings" added to the deservedly high reputation of that young lady. Her voice is of beautiful quality, and her exe cution of the song evinced her acquaintance with the works of Handel, and her judgment to be correct as to the mode in which they ought to be sung. Herr Heinemeyer's Fantasia on the flute was one of the finest instrumental efforts we have heard for some time. In addition to as rich and mellow a tone as ever was drawn from the instrument, his facility of execution is most extraordinary, and his expression exqui. site, without the slightest tincture of that affectation which disfigures the performance of too many players of the present day. Miss Wood. ham's " John Anderson, my Joe," and Mr. H. Phillips' song about " Good Company," might have omitted, and something more in cha. racter with a concert of this magnitude and interest advantageously snb. stituted. Beethoven's spirited Overture, admirably played, " The Men of Prometheus," concluded the performances, long before eleven o'clock. We were much gratified to find the annual meeting of this extensively useful institution exciting so much interest in the public mind, and that its managers still maintain the reputation acquired long ago, of always treating their patrons and supporters to one of the best, if not the very best concerts of the season. We ought to have stated that Mr. Balfe, who had promised his as sistance on the oceasion, was prevented from singing by a severe cold and hoarseness. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex will give a superb banquet on Wednesday, the 30th inst., at Kensington Palace, to her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Kent, and the Royal Family. Preparations have already commenced at the apartments of the illus. trious Duke for the entertainment. The Master of the Horse to her Majesty will give grand entertainments at his mansion in Berkeley-square, on Thursday, the 17th, and Saturday, the 19th, and inst., the first to celebrate the Queen's birthday. The Noble Lord Was present, on Saturday, at the grand annual dinner given by Sir Martin Shee and the Royal Acade- micians. The Duke of Wellington visited the panorama of San Sebastian, in Maddox-street, on Saturday. Ile soon recognised the different positions of the batteries during the sine, and expressed him. self much pleased with the ♦iew in general. Mr. Parsons, box-book-keeper, takes his benefit this evening at Drury.lane Theatre. Were the performances less various and attractive than they are, we doubt not but the frequenters of this theatre would testify, by a full house, their sense of the public services of this obliging functionary; as it is, there is little doubt but a bumper may be safely calculated upon. The Optical Gallery, Colosseum, is now opened for a morning lounge, and the Munich band plays there daily, from two till five o'clock. On Thursday and Friday next Mr. graham and Mrs. Stirling are to perform there; and on the following Monday, the cele. brated Mans. Alexandre will commence his entertainment. THE COURT BALL.—The grand entertainment to be given by her Majesty on Thursday next is expected to be highly at. tractive. It is the first public fete given by her Majesty, and the splen. did suite of apartments in Duckingham new Palace will be thrown open, brilliantly illuminated, for the first time. The modistes at the west end of the town were never in greater activity in preparing cos tumes of the most recherche description. It is astonishing that an idea still prevails that no out-door relief, under the present Poor-law, is admitted. It might easily be known that the relieving-officer goes his regular weekly circuit, to distribute this description of relief. THE QUEEN AND THE MACKINTOSH.—WhiIe her Majesty was riding on horseback on Monday, in last week, in Windsor Great Park, she and her party were surprised by a heavy shower of rain, when they were yet at some little distance from the castle. A gentleman of her suite offered her Majesty his Mackintosh as a protection against the elementary attack. This her Majesty, with the most becoming condescension, instantly accepted, and wore all the way home. It is expected that the grand full and fancy dress Ball, which is to take place on the 31st, for the benefit of the Welsh School, will be the most splendid of the season, her Majesty having signified her intention of affording it her special patronage, and the Ladies who have already announced themselves as patronesses, consist ing of the most distinguished nobility of the land. IVIr. Charles Kean opened at the Glasgow Theatre on Monday last. This spacious house was crowded to the ceiling. He will perform Hamlet, Richard, Sir Giles, and Othello, prior to his return to Drury-lane on Wednesday next. LINCOLN'S INN, MAY 4.—The following gentle men were this day called to the degree of Barrister.at-law by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, viz, :—Francis Sacheveral Wilmot, Esq ; George William Bramwell, Esq.; James Graham Doraville, Esq. ; Charles Weld, Esq. ; John Edward Cooper, Esq. ; John Glynn Mytton, Esq ; Joshua Williams, Esq.; and Thomas Worrall Smith Graze. brook, Esq. The East India Company have voted a sword of 200 guineas value, to Captain Chads, for his exertions in suppressing piracy in the Indian seas. The Marquis of Hertford's villa in the Regent's park, has been, it is said, offered for the use of the illustrious foreigners expected to visit London at the ensuing Coronation. BIRMINGHAM AND LIVERPOOL.—A correspon dent has sent us the following statement of distances :—By the canals, via Chester, the distance is 93 miles ; by the turnpike-road, via Walsall, 95 miles ; by the railway, 97 miles. Johanna Schopenhauer, an authoress who has long enjoyed great popularity in Germany, died at Jena, on the 111th ult., in the 68th year of her age. Her complaint appears to have been a sud den affection of the lungs. A GEOLOGIST OUT.—The inhabitants of Long Telford were a few days since expecting a treat at the Bull Inn, bills having been circulated that a lecture on geology would be given ; but at the time specified the lecturer was non est inventus. Inquiries were made, when it was found that he had decamped from his lodgings, taking with him two folio works, but not on geology. Immediate pur. suit was made, and he was captured at Alpheton, and sent to lecture to the prisoners in Bury gaol. It is very likely he will stand a fair chance of acquiring further and extensive knowledge in the science of geology in another latitude.—Esser Herald. On Friday, a deputation from the Society for Obtaining Free Admission to National Monuments, consisting of Lord Worsley, Sir. Geo. Sinclair, Bart., M.P., H. 'l'. Hope, M.P., It. M. Milnes, M.P., George Rennie, Esq., John Martin, Esq., and Geo. Foggo, Esq., waited on his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, to acknowledge the honour of his acceptance of the Presidency of the So. clety. His Royal Highness entered fully and warmly into its object, with that affability for which he is so eminently distinguished. THE GREAT WESTERN STEAM SHIP.—By the arrival in the London Docks, on Friday forenoon, of the Henry Brougham, Captain Wilkin, from Laguna de Terminos, we learn that the captain of that vessel spoke the Great Western steam.ship on the 15th April, on her passage to New York, in latitude 45 40, longitude 37 50. The Great Western, since her departure from Bristol, has been seen twice by homeward vessels to the port of London; but the Henry Brougham has been the first vessel to speake with the Great Leviathan. It is fully expected that the next intelligence of the Great Western will be her safe arrival in the western world. Captain Wilkin, we are in. formed, did not see or hear anything of the Sirius, which sailed from Cork for New York several days prior to the departure of the Great Western from Bristol. Both vessels are first rate, and are doubtless at this time surprising Jonathan In the port of New York. The same gratuitous spirit of misrepresentation per vades Dr. Chalmers' first lecture in London, and his address to the people of Scotland. With a full knowledge of what their sentiments are, he is disingenuous enough to attribute the opposition of the Dis.. senters to a niggardly economy, or indifference to the cause of religion, or a " drivelling piety," which deems the employment of human efforts in spreading religion superfluous. Like a genuine bigot, the Doctor can see none but bad motives in those who will not lend themselves to his castle.building schemes. In his eyes, the Dissenting reformers are " impetuous bustling agitators, in whose breasts politics has taken the place of religion ;" "headlong innovators;" "machine-breakers not more intelligent than the machine-breakers and incendiaries of Kent and Leicester."—Scotsman. it ODDITIES OF LONDON LIFE."—We are re quested to state that the new comic work, entitled " Oddities of London Life,' in 2 vols. post B vo., w i th twenty.four I ll us t ra tions d thirty- six Wood-cuts, is publi s h e d th i s day by Mr. Bentley, 8 , N ew Burlingtou . s trett.

We never had greater pleasure in witnessing a dramatic representa tion than we experienced on Saturday evening in viewing As You Like It at Covent-garden. This delightful comedy—perhaps one of the most pleasing creations of Shakspeare's fertile genius--was produced with all that taste and care which have marked the production of so many Shakspearian dramas during the management of Mr. Macready. We have often made theremark which, at the risk of apparent triteness, we must repeat, as especially applicable to this occasion—that nothing is more remarkable in the present management of this theatre, which has done so much for the legitimate drama this season, than the careful filling up of every character with the best representative the existing condition of the stage affbrds. In the representation of As You Like It, there was not a single part which was not ably sup ported—and, though in the drama's highest and palmiest days, it might be easily imagined that particular characters were repre sented in a manner nearer approaching to perfection, we do not believe a fairer tout ensemble of dramatic attraction was ever presented than on this occasion. Mr. Macready's personation of the melancholy, musi ng, Jacques, was a beautiful and highly finished performance. His delivery of the well known lines—" All the worlds a stage," ike. was marked by the most exquisite combination of pathos and contemplation, mi s , Taylor's Rosalind was gracefuldively, and buoyant; Mr. Harley, a s Touchstone, and Mrs. Humby, as Audrey, were drily humorous in the extreme. Mr. Anderson played Orlando with great ability ;he uttered the fine poetry of the play with true taste and feeling, and was deservedly highly applauded. Minor parts were well played by Messrs, Bennett and Diddear, and Miss Clifford, nor must we forget Mr. Wilson ' who, as Amiens, sung two or three charming melodies, in admirable style, and we could not help thinking, as we beheld Mr. Ma cready and Mr. Wilson, who might be taken as the representatives of tra gedy and opera, in juxta position with each other, how much titter it is, that the aids and accompaniments of the sister muses—whether of music or dancing—with all the appliances of spectacle, of scenery, of mechanical contrivance, and dramatic illusion, should preserve their proper and natural subordination, to the genius of the legitimate drama, instead of being elevated to an undue preference above it. The play was received throughout with merited enthusiasm, and the curtain fell amidst thunders of applause. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. Further particulars of Friday's Races. Handicap (First Class). —Anne Boleyn took the lead, followed by Bracelet and Fawn filly to the new ground, where the latter took it up, Bracelet waiting on her ; near the finish she went up, and, after a sharp struggle, won by half a length. Mahometan was beat off a long way, nor did The Colonel's filly cut a very good figure. Match, Troilus and The Carpenter.--Troilus made strong run ing till near the cords; here The Carpenter went up, raced with him half way lip them, looked well for a few strides, but dropped off near the chair, and was beaten off half a length. Match, Grey Momus and Bamboo.—This match was made under an impression on Lord Suffield's part that Bamboo's defeat on Tuesday was owing to the badness of the pace. The betting was very heavy at 5 to 2 on the Grey, 3 ; 000 to 100 being laid against Bamboo for the Derby before starting. To test the running on Tuesday, Bamboo went off at score, the Grey, reversing the order of Tuesday's running, lying at least a couple of lengths behind him. They held these places to the bushes, where it was obvious that Bamboo had no chance. The Grey now drew upon him, was clear of him before he reached the cords, and won much easier than on Tuesday by two honest lengths. The course, a mile and a yard in length, was run in one minute and fifty seconds. The result, without advancing the Grey in the Derby betting, sent Bamboo to the right about. Match, Caravan and Rat-trap.—The race was very severely con tested up the cords, Rat-trap, who had made all the running, winning by a neck only. Caravan was beaten easily for the Pert Stakes by Rat-trap at even weights, and now, giving 71b, runs him to a neck ; the difference of the course will, perhaps, account for it. Newmarket Stakes.—Daedalus jumped off in front, at a splitting pace, Beetian and Beggarman lying dose up. Long before they reached the cords Romania declined, Daedalus following her example on reaching them. The race now became exceedingly interesting between Bcetian and Beggarman, the former, however, having his head in front, and advantage which, with very great difficulty, he maintained to the end, but so long and close was the contest, that the race was never won till the last stride. Daedalus was beaten three or four lengths. Before starting Beggarman was backed for the Derby at 50 to 1. The Handicap ( Second Class) was beautifully contested by the first three from beginning to end, and won by a head only. The following was the state of the betting at the close of the week : THE DERRY. 5 tot agst Lord G. Bentinck's Grey Momus—taken 11 to 2 agst Lord Jersey's Phonic—taken 9 to 1 agst Mr. Bland s Young Rowton 12 to 1 agst Mr. Coombes's Cobham—taken 14 to 1 agst Mr. Armitage's Nonplus colt 20 to 1 agst Loril Stradbroke's Beggarman No others mentioned. THE OAKS. 7 to 1 agst Mr. Batson's Vespertilio 7 to 1 agst Lord Albemarle's Barcarolle The meeting in every respect answered the expectations of those interested in its success. The sport was not only intrinsically good but productive of the most important effects on the Derby and Oaks betting. The weather was delightful, and the attendance full and fashionable. The following horses have left Newmarket for Epsom :—Lord Chesterfield's Davie Gellatley, Lord Wilton's Sister to Bamfylde, and Mr. Bowes's Jagger. Hornsea has left the same place for Bretby, accompanied by the Derby colt, out of Tranby's dam. Lord Chesterfield has sold Scroggins for 1,200 guineas to the Duke of Brunswick.

W., which appeared in your Paper last week, permit me to state, through the medium of your pages, for his information, that from what I can learn, if officers in any of the dockyards were to "Undertake either an agengy or an executorship, it would be so contrary to the rules of the service, that although the Lords of the Admiralty would not perhaps visit the act with such displeasure as to deprive the offending party of their situations, yet to prevent its continuance they would decidedly remove them to some other station. Will you oblige me by stating why he asked the question ? Your's, &c., A. O'C. IRELAND. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, MAY 5. - Tea PRESS IN IRELAND—TAE "PILOT."—The large profits and extensive circulation of the London press plaee it above the dangers which are daily threatening the Liberal journals in this country. A newspaper here is generally the proderty of an individual—a specula tion In which his whole property is involved, and any liabilities incurred by the mismanagement of it, or by an unconscious breach of the law of libel, fall, of course, upon the single proprietor. Every attack upon monopoly, then, every expose of official misconduct, r every interpo sitioiebetween innocence and guilty power, is made at the hazard of the property aliir-liberty of one courageous man. That an independent press should have existed at all in this country, under the circumstances, is strange; but it is more strange when you recollect that the circula tion of newspapers in this country is comparatively limited, and the profit accruing to the sole proprietor, who undergoes all the responsibility, is less than that received by one of a dozen partners in an English news paper, most of whom undergo no responsibility at all. These remarks were suggested by the fact of two criminal informations having been obtained against the Pilot during the present week; one yesterday by two young men named Bateman and Fitzpatrick, for a paragraph in which their claims to compensation for prosecuting some policemen, were ridiculed, and themselves accused of abusing the Lord Lieutenant ; and the other by the Marquis of Westmeath, for a disagreable expose made by the Pilot in defence of Mr. Shell, the magistrate whose case Lord Westmeath brought before Parliament three weeks ago. In both cases the plaintiffs are proceeding by criminal action, seeking to remove from his duties one of the most fearless as sertors of the people's rights at the public Press. As a further illustra. tion of the working of the libel law in this country, I may observe that a civil action is pending against another Liberal Evening Paper for an attack upon a public functionary, or rather a candidate for a public office, whose conduct was highly censurable; and that scarcely a month has elapsed since a Morning Paper was mulcted in 3001. damages and costs for the insertion of an advertisement. The most deplorable part of the case is, that juries, who look to the Press to make all sacrifices in their defence, have no sympathy with them, even when unjustly at tacked; and that some barristers, who have been switched for miscon. duct by the Newspapers, pursue them, when employed against them, with relentless bitterness of spirit. ANTI-SLAVERY MEET! NGS.—The friends of Negro Emancipation throughout the country are actively employed iu agitating the question. Meetings have been held in Kilkenny, Mayo, and elsewhere, and a meeting is convened in Dublin, at the Rotunda, for Monday, at which the celebrated advocate of liberty, Mr. George Thompson, will attend. The Anti.SlaVery Committee are untiring in their exertions, and, with the assistance of O'Connell, they have succeeded in snaking the question one of general interest in Ireland. The tithe campaign and anti-tithe agitation are keeping pace with each other, while the parsons are scouring the country with Dragoons, serving tithe notices, or employing themselves in the less dangerous recreation of prosecuting Exchequer suits, the Reformers are holding meetings, protesting against the ins. post, and pledging themselves not to submit to it. This irritation, and counter-irritation, was prettily exemplified the other day at North Wex ford, where a meeting of between fifty and sixty thousand persons as. sembled on Wednesday, and adopted the strongest resolutions against the tithe system ; and on Friday the Parson called an auction to dispose of llfty.fivr bullocks and five racehorses, the property of Mr. Maher, one of the Members for the county, by way of reprisal. As the second act of the drama was only enacted yesterday, the result has not yet reached town. The collection for the monument of Curran is still proceeding with spirit; and so also is another national fund, the subscription to the Finn Testimonial to be presented to the late Member for Kilkenny, for his exertions to uproot the Orange conspiracy in this country. The commission dc lunatic° inquirendo, which excited so much in terest here for the last week, has concluded, and Miss Martha Matilda Loftus has been declared of unsound mind, and trustees, or as the technical phrase is, a Committee, appointed over her property, which amounts to more than 36,0001. The lady of Sir George Rich, and her sister, Mrs. Magan, wife of Wm. Henry Magan, Esq., arc declared co. heiresses-at-law to the lunatic. At the Thurles Quarter Sessions, a few days ago, a case came on which excited considerable amusement. It was an action by a man called Smith, against a pious gentleman named Hall, who had employed him as a missionary to travel through the country, and preach, read, and explain the Scriptures. The plaintiff was an old soldier, but it ap. peared by several letters produced on the trial that the Church consi dered him as her special champion, for he was addressed in them by clergymen of the Establishment, as "dearly-beloved friend." The ambidexter champion made out his case successfully, and obtained a decree against Mr. Hall for 131. 10s. It would be a curious inquiry how much piety was expended, and how many souls saved for this trifling sum. Supposing it was shewn that any given number of be nighted Papists were converted for 13/. 10s., a question would arise whether it would not be expedient to grant a certain number of thirteen-pound -tens to convert over the whole population. The thing might be done upon BobadiPs system. Three at 131. 10s. convert them; three more at 13/. 10s., convert them, and so on till there was not a Papist left in the island. The superfluous tithes and unneces sary church lands would produce a ♦ery considerable quantity of thirteen pound-tens of the clergy would consent to apply them to this good purpose. LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. On Thursday (being the Anniversary of the Constitution of 1791) the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Association was held at the Sussex Chambers, Dukc.street, St. James's. Amongst those present were Lord D. C. Stuart, It, Ferguson, Esq., M.P., Thomas Campbell, Esq., Mr. Bell, owner of the Oxen, G. A. Young, Esq., and other gentlemen of distinguished literary and political character. Lord D. C. Stuart, Vice-President, took the Chair, and Dr. K S. Blundell, Hon. Secretary, read the report of the proceedings of the Association during the last year. Mr. BEALE, in rising to propose the first resolution, to the effect that the Association was strongly impressed with the necessity of endeavour. ing to provide forthwith a certain fund for the support of the whole of the Polish refugees at present in this country, said that it completely met his own views as respected the state of the Poles and the Association. Great numbers, who had been entirely dependant on the Association nn til the funds were exhausted, were in a state of actual starvation, and it was time to impress upon the Government and the public, that great as m had been the sympathy shown in behalf of the Polish exiles, unless im_ ediate and extensive relief were afforded , numbers of them must perish by the most miserable of deaths to which human nature was exposed. He need not harrow the feelings of the meeting by describing the scenes which he had . witnessed —misery, despair, insanity, physical and moral overthrow completely effected by that terrible torture starvation, which, before it releases its victim by death, corrupts, debases, and degrades him. If the Government did not come forward to the assistance of the vain to conceal from themselves that num. iscribed.—(Applause.)i,ereased The sympathy of the public had clearly been benevolent fund, it bers of those brave and high-minded men must perish as he had de. meioftie highest influence and eloquence in the country had roused the public mind ; but lie regretted that a Noble and Learned Member of their Association had not done for the suffering Poles some. thing of that powerful exertion of his splendid talents, which had been so successfully employe d in fa vour of the negroes.—(Hear, h ear, an d and fond cheering.) He re j o iced that public sympathy had b een so strongly expre ssed in favour of th e negroes, b ut he wished that the philanthropists of this country would recollect that there were white slaves in Europe, whose condition was worse than that of their (lark brethren beyond the Atlantic.—(Hear, hear.) He wished that his fair count r y women wo uld spare to the unhappy Poles—th e b rave —t h e hi g h -minded —the neglected defender s o f their country, and of hw E m u ha r i rc o dh p o e ( Cheers.) But there were many Poles who would gla dl y share with the negro that sordid selfishness of the tyrant which i nduced him to g iv e to the victim of hi s crue l ty at least food and shelter. —(Applause.) He dep recated the shortsighted and selfish policy of th ose who said that the wrongs of ot h er nations swelled so me of that sympathy which glowed Olson their lovely cheek__ the in their bosoms and gli s t ened in their eyes, when they t sufferings of the negro.— had nothing to do with us.—(Hear, hear.) That we should wait until murder, rapine, and torture were carried by the opp ressor of Poland to our own shores.—(Loud cheers.) He urged the Association to persist in its efforts to rouse their countrymen to befriend—if they could not restore—to assist and aid the unfortunate exiles —to do all they could to alleviate their sorrows, and to pour the balm of compassion into their wounded hearts. — (Mr. B eale resumed his seat a midst loud cheers.) R o ncar Feaci uso s, Esq., M.P., seconded th e resolution, which was carr i e d unanimously. A.Y Authorities °Viu' of gsq•iin moving the thanks of th e Association to the the Civic City of London, in their l ate great exertions in the a,, Polish ca occupy the attention of the m eet i ng after the eloquent a ddress of Air. Beale. It was necessary, however, that he should direc t their attention to the e x t raordinary statement of a Noble Lord, wh o was thelces Wnuescee,mary for him to corro borated the statement s o f t h e report, arid said it greatly and justly respected by every friend of liberty and philanthropy. That Noble Lord had recently returned from Ru ss i a , and stated that that power was greatly misunderstood. (Hear, hear.) If the power of Russia was not und ers t oo d i n this c ou ntry and in the west of Europe, it was not t h e fault of that Asso . el wh i c h had done everything in its pow er t o make the atrocities ation,of the .Em peror and his insults to E ng l an d we l l understood —(Cheers,) Mr. Bo a. (the owner of the ri sen ) secon d ed the resolution, which wa s carried unanimously. DastNaan mo ve d th e nex t reso l ut i on, which was a vote of thanks to the authorities in the several provincial towns, and in Edinburgh, w h ere popular manifestations in favour of the cause of Poland had taken place. Mr. H. Gortnox seconded this resolution, which was also carried without a dissentient voice. Mr..l3ldocc KIR DY move d a vote of thanks to the President, T. W. Beaumont, LS q., wbom he highly eulogised for his attachment to the cause of liberty and of P oland, the Associatio n , and his munificent liberality in aid of Mr. G. A. youxu, In seconding the resolution, stated that he had re ceived a letter from Mr. Beaumont, apologizing for his absence from tnhuedinieeyetsitouga: a ccount of Illn es s, w hi c h was evident in the handwriting responded to byit:hae of the letter. Mr. A. %fru moved a vote of thanks to the Vice-President, Lord Lord Dtnn.v.v STUAR T , a modest speech, which was vehemently cheered, ack nowledged the honour done him. He said that the Asso_ s m pe e c e c ti h n of warm eulogy, which was enthusiastically elation had done at least this much good, besides affording relief to the Poles excluded from participating in the Government grant--,rt had distributed that grant without a shilling of expense to the country, whereas the distribution of the French grant cost France 10,000/. a year.—( Appl ause.) The President and Vice-Presidents were then re-elected, and three members were substituted for the same number who had retired from the Council. Dr. Lacit SZYttNIA then came forward, and in a neat and eloquent address presented the Association with a beautifully executed engraving of a portrait of Lord Dudley Stuart, bearing the motto, " Causas non fata sequor," from the Polish Association of Paris, at whose expense it was executed by a Polish artist, as a testimony of their gratitude for his important services to their country and their suffering countrymen,— The meeting then separated.

At the last weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians, the Chai Edward Willoughby, Esq., reported that lie had received a letter f 1.4 the Auditor, which he begged to read to the Board. It was as follow Staines, April 9.1, 1835. Sir,--I have the satisfaction to inform you, for the information of qt.. fs_ll if a \,,_ i s Board of Guardia ns o f t h e Strand U nion, that I have completed tlidatr v audit of the account s f or t h e past quarter. In making this communica. Ai 3 tion, I have great pleasure in giving expression to the conviction I feel that the expenditure will bear the test of the most rigorous examined lion. Objections were made, it is true, to certain items in the account, but objections of a more frivolous and vexatious nature I have Iltrer seen advanced ; and I cannot resist the temptation to congratulate the Board on the gratifying fact, that in every single case, the objection made served on explanation of the particular item referred to, to eZ. hibit in a more striking light the constant and sedulous regard tr economy and good management on the part of the Board. In regard to the accounts theroselvee, I may be permitted to add thak no accounts could be kept or presented in a more accurate manners I remain, Sir, your faithlld and obedient servant, E.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was last week a moderate arrival of English Grain and Flour, and dart large quantity of Oats from Ireland. In the course of the w ee k , every icle wall sustained last Monday's terms. This nlorni g h supply of Wheat has been tolerably good, and of other Grain n shothe fresh supply of Wheat has bees tolerably good, and of Grain short. The weather continues fine, and vegetation has in consequence progressed. The millers having small stocks of Wbeat were under the necessity of Purchasing the best parcels for immediate use, for whi - ,11 cis. per quarter advance was obtained on last Monday's terns; 1) 1 .1.1 there was a decline in tho trade for all other kinds, and some 'quantity remains unsold. - .ld Barley being in short supply h a s obtair rather higher pric es.

For next week there is but little business advertised, and none for Monday. A fair business has been done during the past Week. NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MAY Si, Our farmers brought a large slippy of Wheat to this da•i's market, but we had very trifling arrivals from the coast, and prints ruled a shade higver than on last Saturday. In the value of Parley there was no alteration. The supply of Oats was large, and th.e whole cleared off at last week's rates. For Malt the demand comb - ales exceedingly limited, and our quotations can with difficulty be realized. Rye meets a very slow sale at late prices. Other grain remains without alterati. - ,,n. Flour is in fair request and prices the turn dearer. Wheat, Northurnkerland New . Old. 5s 6 46....... —3. —.l Norfolk and Suffolk 58s.

This ' acing our fair day, our Corn Market was rather small. Wheat rna (l .4 tls. to 3s. per. qr. snore money than last week; also fresh Oats and Atills made ls. to 2s. more money.

With light supplies and moderate stocks, the Corn Trade in this and the neighbouring markets has anticipated in the improvement in prices which has taken place this week throughout the kingdom, particularly in the agricultural districts. The tendency upwards has however been somewhat modified by the very favourable change in the weather, anti thotigh higher rates have been fully established on the leading articles of the trade, not more than an average amount of business has been done, purchasers not being prepared to comply with the advance re. quired to its Lull extent. At Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday the trade was steady, and the advanced rates were fully maintained; the business (Ming however was only moderate. The same description applies to our Market of this day, the demand being confined to moderate sales of each article for present constrinption, at an improvement upon the rates of this day week of 2d, try per bushel on Wheat, Id. per bushel on Oats, Is. per quarter on. Be an; Is. to 9.5. per sack on Flour, and 3d. per load on Oatmeal and ;belling. On Malt, Barley, or Pease no particular variation. RUSSELSAND GERMAN PAPERS BRUt3SELS, MAN 4.--.CIIAMBER OF RE PILISJENTATIVES—SITTING OF 4TII May.--The following petition of the Xiembers of the Communal Council of Arlon was laid on the table : " To the Members of the Chamber of Representatives " Gentlemen,—Luxembourg in its whole extent, in its integrity, has joined in the Belgian revolution. " This integrity we call on you to maintain. Ever since 1830 the territory of Luxembourg, cc-ded by the 24 articles, has made a part of Belgium; ever since the commencement of the revolution its in habitants have taken part in the same combats ; they have run the same dangers ; they have always proved that it was their will to remain united to Belgium. They have yielded neither to the'threats nor to the promises of the deposed Government ; and when Belgium was attached in their territory they alone repulsed the aggressor who menaced it. It would, therefore, be now not only injustice but ingratitude, in Belgium to secure its independence by trafficking with its fellow-citizens. If it abandoned them, then their brethren of Luxembourg would not aban don them. United to them we would defend ourselves from foreign do mination, without fear of the results, whatever they might be; we would combat our common enemy; we would repulse him, or we would all perish together. " Our most sincere wish, our most ardent desire is, to see our brethren remain Belgians like ourselves. This wish—this desire--ought to be that of all men. The sacrifice required is too shameful not to be re pugnant to the whole nation; and you, Its representatives, you will arra yourselves with the rights which you hold from the people and rroin the Constitution, to repel the ignoble treaty which is attempted to be imposed on us," BELGIAN I , UNDS—BaussELs, MAY 5.
